Resignations

Andrew Watkins - paid £2092.54

Cock-up

My first attempt to transfer money from the broker to our bank account failed as I setup the transfer in the wrong direction. As a result Lloyds TSB transfer back the money and charged the club £30. I was more careful the second time I transfered the money. Andrew has now been given his cheque.
